[Rajaraja Chola]

Lol. Even Chennai metro has Hindi. But the bad thing is tickets nowadays have no tamil onto it. Railways should upgrade its ticketing system.

Distorted History? Can you dispute at least one statement that I made?

Didn't Indian sepoys rebel against British in 1857 ?
Were they only Hindus? Does Indian means Hindus only ?
Didn't Sir Syed start Urdu Language movement in 1867?

Didn't Muslims start All-India Muslim League in 1906 while Congress was fighting British for the system of Self-Governing government?
They started it after getting betrayed by hindus
Didn't British give separate electorate for Muslims as part of Morley-Minto Reforms in 1909?
Ofc because we demanded fair representation
Didn't Indian National Congress start the fight for Purna Swaraj (Complete Independence of India from British rule) in 1929?

Didn't Congress start Quit India Movement in 1942 against the British rule?

Didn't Muhammad Ali Jinnah call for Direct Action Day in 1946 ?



You fought against the Hindus. You did not fight against the British. Only Congress fought against the British.

Lol which is why we got first Independence before you.
This is going off topic now

The question is not if you got Independence or not but Why & how? The reason is not because you fought the British but you supported the British to weaken the Freedom struggle started by Congress. Of course when British leaving India was inevitable, they would have been more than happy to divide and give Pakistan to the Muslims who were their supporters all along rather than giving entire land to the people with whom they were fighting all along. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand this.

Namma Metro Anger Over Hindi Signs Is Part Of Growing Trend
Why is Bengaluru angry? Well, Bengaluru likes its new metro, but doesn't like that every time it gets on the metro, it has to see signs in Hindi.

That seems like an absurdly small irritant, right? Why, Hindi-speakers across India's north must be asking themselves, would the citizens of Bengaluru be so incensed that their new metro has signs in Hindi as well as in Kannada and English? Surely, they're just being petty.

Hindi fanatics in the north have in fact long argued that they are second-class citizens, behind English-speakers. Sadly, the only ideas they have in their head to fix this require all non-Hindi speakers to become third-class citizens. So Bengaluru's reaction is not pettiness - it's a long-delayed reaction to being a third-class citizen in India.

Indeed, one extraordinary product of the divisive and short-sighted politics of the all-conquering Sangh Parivar is that division over sub-national identities and language, once thought a thing of the past, is rapidly becoming the dominant narrative in national politics.

The Sangh Parivar with its Hindi-Hindu chauvinism, has only itself to blame. But some responsibility goes to the apparatus of Hindi supremacism that is built into the union government. The fact that the Bengaluru metro has to have signs in Hindi, for example, is a product of a December 2016 order to metros in non-Hindi speaking regions from the Union Ministry of Urban Development, following a meeting of the Joint Hindi Advisory Committee of the ministry - ironically, in Kochi.


So, to return to my first question: why now? Why are these long-dormant sub-national and linguistic identities taking centre stage at this moment in time? It's because of the BJP's success. The BJP has succeeded in replacing the Congress as the dominant "national" pole in Indian politics. But after the many compromises of the 1950s and 1960s, Congress-style centralised nationalism ceased to be seen as a cultural threat - and this is not true of the BJP's Hindi-Hindu chauvinist nationalism.

Get used to it. Jallikattu and #NammaMetroHindiBeda are just the beginning. The GST takes economic power away from the powerhouses of the south; the 2014 election and the presidential choice demonstrated the south and east are politically irrelevant. Over the next decade or so, the number one story in Indian politics will be an old, old one: the states versus the Delhi durbar.
